This summer, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) will be hosting students from Fort Lewis College — a Native American-serving, non-tribal institution in Colorado. The goal is to make graduate school accessible to Indigenous students. Native American students face multiple obstacles when it comes to obtaining higher education, including a lack of financial resources and intergenerational trauma.

Understanding how people develop habits around viewing adult content can help identify potential psychological risks later in life. Researchers identified three distinct patterns of how adults start viewing sexually explicit material, revealing that establishing a regular habit at a young age is linked to higher rates of mental health struggles. The findings were published in the journal Computers in Human Behavior.

UNLV and Fort Lewis College have established a partnership aimed at expanding graduate access for undergraduate students. Under the partnership, students earning a bachelor’s degree from Fort Lewis, a small public university in Durango, Colo., will get access to coordinated mentorship and early research opportunities to continue their studies at UNLV, either with a master’s degree in gaming and hospitality or a doctorate in a science, technology or engineering field.

More than a dozen UNLV graduate programs ranked among the top 100 in their respective disciplines in U.S. News & World Report’s annual Best Graduate Schools rankings released today.

The project is part of the HUNDRED Plan, an acronym for Historic Urban Neighborhood Design Redevelopment. In 2016, residents worked with graduate students from UNLV to create a vision for what they wanted to see on the Historic Westside.

Join us for a conversation about decolonizing research, rethinking education, and building institutions that actually serve the communities at their center. Chris sits down with Dr. Alyssa Crittenden, who returns to the show, this time as Vice Provost for Graduate Education and Dean of the Graduate College at UNLV.

Researchers have documented the pervasiveness of bullying, which one study estimated could cost a large university $93 million a year in employee disengagement. Anti-bullying advocates have urged colleges to tackle the problem head-on. 

How a national project aims to give master’s and doctoral students the same level of attention as first-year undergraduates.

Nevada’s graduate assistants are blowing the whistle about exploitative pay, so why did Governor Lombardo just veto a bill that would’ve improved it?

Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced $24,994 in funding for a student team at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas (UNLV) as part of the Agency’s People, Prosperity, and the Planet (P3) Program seeking solutions to environmental and public health challenges. The UNLV team, one of 21 award winners nationwide, is researching a cost-effective, simple process using agricultural waste biomass products to clean the drinking water supply.

New funding will make going to grad school a lot easier for locals. According to UNLV, the number of total graduate assistantships (GA) is set to increase.

For years, scientists and dieticians have advocated the importance of maintaining a healthy gut, particularly for the benefit of our immune system. However, scientists are now also learning about the gut’s impact on our cognitive health.
